About Argonaut Technologies Inc.

Argonaut Technologies, Inc. engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of products designed to help chemists. The companys principal markets are in the United States, Western Europe, and the Far East. The company offers its products in 15 foreign countries, including China, Australia, Korea, Eastern Europe, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Italy and Spain.

The company provides chemistry consumables, instrumentation (instruments and software), and services to enable chemists primarily in the pharmaceutical industry to accelerate the chemical development process and to increase the number of new chemical entities.

Chemistry Consumables

Chemistry consumables products address the demand for chemists to make compounds designed according to themes of drug-likeness (drugs with a higher probability of success in humans).

Polymer Reagent and Scavenger Products: Chemists primarily use the companys polymer reagents and scavengers products to assemble collections of small molecules with the levels of structural complexity in drug discovery. The polymer reagents and scavengers are technologies that enable chemists to improve their productivity in the crucial, multi-step synthesis aspects of generating novel chemical entities and complex drug target molecules. Its Solution Phase Toolboxes and Kits are collections of bound reagents and scavengers that are pre-configured to enable chemists to optimize traditional work-ups and purification processes.

Solid Phase Extraction: The companys ISOLUTE brand of solid phase extraction (SPE) products is used by chemists to extract and purify samples to test for compatibility of these essential properties. It manufactures its own sorbents that are subsequently packed into single columns and 96-well high throughput SPE plates. In addition, the company manufactures sample processing stations that are designed to simplify the task of processing samples using disposable ISOLUTE extraction products.

The company, in the year 2004, launched two new bioanalytical sample preparation products. ISOLUTE PPT+ Protein Precipitation Plates improve removal of unwanted proteins from biological fluid samples using a solvent first methodology. This technique is utilized as a sample preparation method prior to LC-MS/ MS characterization. EVOLUTE ABN is a water-wettable polymer-based sorbent for extracting drugs from biological fluids. It allows scientists to use generic methodologies to reduce method development time while producing clean extracts for a range of compounds.

The companys Advantage Series products focus on the needs of chemists in the process development stage who are under increased pressure to develop processes for the production of pharmaceuticals. Its products utilize the benefits of automated synthesis guided by software to design, execute and collect data essential to the production of large quantities of the drug candidate for clinical trials. In addition, the instrumentation resources support Flashmaster family of flash chromatography instruments, providing chemists with a range of purification products. The Flashmaster products provide chemists with a way to purify their compounds.

Advantage Series Endeavor: The Endeavor product brings parallel methodology to catalyst discovery and screening. The process chemist can run eight individual pressurized, gaseous reactions simultaneously, while monitoring gas consumption in each reaction vessel. Based on technology developed by Symyx Technologies,

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?

How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?

How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?

How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?

Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?

Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?

Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?

Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?

Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

What composes a threat of substitute products and services?

Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?

What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?

How big is the bargaining power of buyers?

How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?
